Well, since probably the end of November, I've had a personal ad up on a site for gay men. You can put yourself up without a purpose, or you can specifiy you are there for "chat", for "sex" for "friends" or for "love".
I've put myself down for love. I want to meet guys to date, and see if something develops.
I wasn't sure what to expect, as I've had ads up on other sites before, and never got much of a response.
Imagine my surprise when within the first few days, I had between 8-10 responses. I'm now in the process of trying to weed through these guys.
I thought I had a hit with the first guy I met. We met at a local diner, and I thought we hit it off. Conversation lasted for 2 hours, and I thought he was funny, smart and cute. I sent him a message to talk to him again, and he never replied.
::)
Set up another date with a guy who canceled one hour before we were to meet.
::)
got friendly with a 3rd guy, we talked A LOT over the computer. Wanted to talk on the phone. He was a sad-sack and a whiner.
::)
The next guy wanted to meet just after new year's. We got some food and went to a movie. There was chemistry over the 'net. I felt nothing when I was with him in person. I believe he felt the same, as we have talked since then, but neither of us have mentioned getting together again.
::)
two other guys want to meet next week. They are aged 55 & 61. I told them I would be willing to meet AS FRIENDS. I think they are both lonely. If they try to turn this into a romantic thing, I'll cut them off quickly.
::)
And the search continues......

Why is that, Chuck? Could you elaborate?

The 55 year old, he and I don't have much in common. Like to do different things, like different styles of music, differnet lifestyles.
The 61 year old, I'm not attracted to him. On top of that, I know I would have a difficult time with the age difference. He's 20 years older than me, and only 9 years younger than my dad.

Do you not have the option for an age range in your dating profile?
My sister kept getting hit with very very young men who she didn't want. Otherwise, your experience sounds about right, Chuck. :P
Most people I know who do such dating have similar experiences. A friend had great chemistry and communication via internet with this guy and he was anxious to meet her. She finally met him and he spent the date ignoring her.
This other guy in Houston kept up a vigorous communication with my sister, until she sent him a picture and he dropped out of sight within a day.
You got to have thick skin and a lot of patience.
